i don't understand something in the command.com replacement shell
4dos.com/4dos286.exe 2.21 w/ DOS 4.01: pipes don't seem to work
for me. the result of an attempt to pipe is shown by this:
C:\BIN>dir | more
Access denied "C:/\p1.$$$\p1.$$$\p1.$$$"
C:\BIN>dir | \bin\more
Access denied "C:/\p1.$$$\p1.$$$\p1.$$$\p1.$$$"
C:\BIN>
this is the result no matter what 'more' i use, DOS' or not. in
this case the more is the one recently posted to c.b.i.p.
[the following may or may not be related.]
if i shell out of the running program, e.g., telix right now, i
will be dumped into command.com, as the secondary shell.
C:\BIN>dir | more
run-time error R6003
- integer divide by 0
C:\BIN>
however, 'dir | \bin\more' *does* work correctly. (yes, \bin is
in the path). running the system with straight DOS 4.01 works as
expected.
any ideas appreciated.

I have not run into this particular problem, but have had other problems in the past. I called and the people at JP Software were extremely helpful. Are you either in your 30-day trail period, or have you registered yet? In either case, they are ready to help you. If you don't have the address information, here it is: J.P. Software P.O. Box 1470 E. Arlington, Ma. 02174 (617) 646-3975 BTW, I am a thoroughly happy registered user of 4DOS and have not been having any problems. I only needed to use it for about 1 week before I decided to register. This is a well thought out and executed product and is well worth the $50 shareware price they are asking (includes printed manual and two free upgrades). You can also get it for $35 for registration only, no manual no upgrades. I am not connected in any way with J.P. Software in any other that being a satisfied user.

I am using 4dos286 2.21 and DOS 3.2, however. I have not upgraded to SOS 4.xx on purpose because 3.2 suits my needs and I don't want to put up with all the shit people have been reporting with 4.01. Seems that 4.01 is part of your problem. Dion Hollenbeck (619) 455-5590 x2814 Megatek Corporation, 9645 Scranton Road, San Diego, CA 92121 uunet!megatek!hollen or hollen@megatek.uucp
